About this project

Welcome to Downdraft Brewing Co.'s "Build-a-Brewery" campaign! As you know, starting a business from the ground up is a daunting task, with the most difficult step in the process being finding the money to bring all the pieces together. From toilets to tap handles, tables and tanks, coolers, couches, glasses and lighting, all of the details come together in let's face it, one big bill!

Our brew system is on the way and our location secured. Now, we need you to help us with the construction cost of our Brew House and Tap Room. The faster we can raise the funds, the faster you can come join us for a tasty pint in our new digs!

With your help, our empty building will be transformed into a warm, inviting atmosphere for you to come hang in. Construction labor, materials, inspections, and city requirements/approvals add up quickly -- your money will help us get started on the exciting transformation process!

With the launch of this awesome Kickstarter campaign, our growing crowd on Social Media, and the support of you and your closest friends & family, we KNOW that we can make this happen!

From Grain to Goodness!

Our new empty home! Help us fill it up :)

Risks and challenges

If we reach or exceed our campaign goal of $30,000.00, we will be able to meet the growing costs of our construction & help us to reach our opening date of early July --- plumbing, dry wall, furnishings, and floors are the hot list of our "to-dos"! If we do not meet our campaign goal, even by $1.00, we will not receive any of the funds pledged by you, and our start date will be pushed out until we can find the funds.

As a secondary goal, if we exceed $30,000 and hit $50,000, we will be able to purchase a professional keg-washing & bottling system, which will allow us to get our beers into the local grocery marts around town!

Regardless of the success of this campaign, starting a business is riddled with risk. What if people don't enjoy our product? What if our location isn't as good as we thought it'd be? What if, what we think is cool really ISN'T that cool?

As any entrepreneur knows and as the old adage says, "Only those who will risk going too far, will possibly find out how far one can go." With that being said, if our campaign is a failure, we'll go door to door with cans and raise each dollar until we reach our goal. If our recipes aren't good enough, we'll keep brewing until we make ones that are. If our house turns out to be less than a home, we'll listen to you and make it better. We are dedicated heart and soul, not only as owners, but as members of the craft beer industry, to bring forth a product and atmosphere that our fellow brewery brothers, sisters, and patrons will be proud of!

Help us continue the work on our new "home" so that we can serve you faster! We are so excited to join the amazing network of breweries and to give back to all of you in our community!
